A lovely thing about summer in Melbourne is the amount of free music events that can be found in gorgeous park settings. Which is a lovely way to spend a Sunday evening. Particularly as a picnic the evening before your First Born starts school and work resumes for the year and routine craziness consumes your […]

Melbourne is not a place to cook this week. It reached 43.4 degrees in the city today and 44 degrees i my neck of the woods. That’s around 110 in Farenheit. Admittedly I did get up at 6am to cook some chickpeas I’d had soaking but as it is still 37.4 degrees at 9.30pm, I […]

Summer has come to Melbourne this week with another scorcher today. The sort of day that makes one reluctant to cook for fear of unnecessarily heating up the house. To add another challenge to the day’s meal provision, chez KP is drastically short of fruit and veg. Lil Miss’s birthday extravaganza made the farmers market […]

One word. Fritters. Working last weekend thrwe my week into complete havoc. Not being able to get to the farmer’s market meant going to a green grocers on Thursday after the supermarket. Aside from the horridness of the greengrocer when I am used to the greengrocers, I’ve had to stretch my fruit and vegetables further […]

Good old December knows how to throw her weight aound doesn’t she? Its only the third and my schedule is in complete disarray. So much so in fact that the entire concet of dinner did not enter my mind until after 4pm this afternoon. We generally eat at 5 (Anke Biter time) so this was […]

The rhythmic ebb and flow of my days is currently absent. Many factors are involved and must simply be borne for the present. Havoc is being wrought upon my meal planning as a result. A most unpleasant result. Tonight in a mad dash to serve hungry, over tired Ankle BIters a meal in a 10 […]

Stinking hot night. Tired. Poor meal planning. No proper shop done for the week. Cranky Ankle Biters. Thank goodness for tuna salad. In our house its something that everyone loves. It’s a quick and easy way to get heaps of vegetables with a good protein punch into everyone (carbs too if served with bread or […]

Its true. Pizza actually saves lives. It’s saved multiple lives at Chez KP today. First and foremost, it’s saved my life. With the gardening fenzy I embarked on and the destruction frenzy Lil Miss embarked on today, any more dinner preparation than pulling some dough out of the freezer and throwing toppings at it when […]

It’s been quite a while since I posted a 10 minute meal. Today I needed it. I was missing a vital ingredient for my planned meal and got buried deep in laundry. So this is what I came up with. Seafood and Goat Cheese Pasta. pasta of choice (with 10 minutes or less cooking time) […]

What more do you want? Snappy post titles? Still battling the brain funk but desperately trying to move my way through the massive pile of assorted papers that accumulated during the computerless days. Really, it was less than a week. How could such a large pile with such a broad variety of tasks gather so […]
